As the sun shined brightly on the unsuspecting
backyard, deep down within the depths of the grass, far beyond anyone’s line of
sight, were five incredibly miniscule girls, clad in nothing but their
swimsuits. What started as a simple tanning session among the group of friends
has turned into a nightmare scenario as the girls were suddenly shrunken down
to just about a quarter of an inch tall. And to make matters even worse, they
were just reminded of the terrifying trouble they found themselves in as they
were forced to watch their friend, Chelsea, be devoured by a blue jay out of
nowhere.
It had already been an hour since the incident, but the shock still hadn’t
fully subsided over each of the remaining girls, as they walked in a straight
line through their own personal “jungle”.
After having stared at the remains of the swimsuit and sunglasses left behind
for an uncomfortable amount of time, Becca managed to squeak out a “L-let’s go”
towards her friends. Expecting some argument or rebuttal, they all simply, and
silently, just followed her lead.
During this whole time, outside of the occasional grunts, shrieks, and
grumbles, nobody said a word to each other. The absurdity of seeing their
friend being eaten alive was still something they had a hard time
comprehending, to the point where they all unanimously felt saying anything to
each other would be too much to deal with, so just kept to their thoughts.
Becca knew they did not want to take the risk of coming into contact with
another surprise guest, so made the precaution of making their way through the
areas with the most amount of grass, covering their view from above. She knew
this approach would make it much longer for them to reach the house, and knew
that didn’t protect them from any other things that may be lurking around, but
it was a start for safety.
With Becca at the front of the pack, Veronica was close behind, with the two
constantly sharing concerned glances toward each other. Veronica was
simultaneously terrified, but also oddly fascinated by her surroundings,
occasionally grabbing onto Becca’s arm, as she stared up and around mouth agape
at her surroundings. Even despite the disturbing circumstances, as someone who
had studied some biology, there was something about seeing everything up close
that peaked Veronica’s interest.
Maria was next up in the line, constantly shaking in anxiety, and any noise
disturbance she heard caused her to perk up and grab onto Anna who was right
behind her.
Anna meanwhile was also scared, but with an extra dash of annoyance. She always
hated tiny things, so now being amongst the creatures she so easily squished
normally downright disgusted her. She chose to spend most of her time grumbling
and looking at the ground than look around at everything like the rest of her
companions did.
At the end of the pack was Kari. She was the one most of all that couldn’t get
Chelsea’s death out of her mind, due to how close she was, and took it upon
herself to keep watch on the rears in case of any danger.
Even while thankfully avoiding encounters with other creatures, they were still
at the mercy of even the littlest contrivances at their size. Each of the
girls’ feet began to grow sorer after walking on the hard dirt plain for so
long. The exceptions being Kari and Veronica, whose sandals had shrunken with
them, given them an advantage in that department.
However, that didn’t stop them from running into trouble, as at one point, Kari
stepped in what turned out to be a “huge” mud pile, slipping on her feet and
crashing face first into the wet dirt. She let out a loud “Euuuggggghhhhh” that
caught everyone’s attention, forcing her to rub up against a nearby blade of
grass and attempt to wipe most of it off.
Veronica had a piece of vine accidentally smack into her after Becca had moved
it to the side, unaware of the whiplash it was going to create. The impact
caused a strand of Veronica’s swimsuit to get ripped up, forcing her to have to
tie up the loose strings together in order to prevent it from falling.
Maria had it even worse, as her own tripping incident caused her to graze the
stalk of a piece of weed, which while normally wouldn’t be too sharp, for her
was sharp enough to rip the back of her top, causing it to fall off and her
embarrassingly attempt to cover up her exposed boob. She quickly looked around
before grabbing a piece of leaf on the ground, and tying it around her upper
chest, to maintain some semblance of modesty.
---
After an hour of seemingly endless wandering, with no real end in sight, the
girls started to get reckless. They had no idea if it would take another couple
hours, or even another whole day to make it to the house, and even then, that
didn’t guarantee immediate safety. But most of all, they were starving.
They hadn’t eaten anything since before they arrived at Becca’s, only indulging
in their drinking, so they were more than ready to chew on something. However,
considering “eating” caused visions of Chelsea’s final moments to spur into
their thoughts, and the only “seemingly edible” things they came across seemed
to resemble bug crap, it just drew them into more despair.
Suddenly, their luck seemed to turn around.
Turning another corner, the girls entered what to them appeared to be an
open-spaced area, and not the labyrinth of grass they had just gone through.
Above was a giant flower that looked to be protecting the spot of dirt, and
right underneath it, stood a chocolate chip muffin.
“Holy shit!” Maria exclaimed, the first thing anyone had spoken since the start
of their trek.
Becca recalled that last week they had a family get together in their backyard,
with her parents providing a bunch of snacks for it. They thought they had
cleaned up most everything/the animals had gotten to them all, but turns out
this lone muffin had survived.
“So how long has that been there?” Anna snarked, pointing at the mountainous
boulder.
“Who cares!” Kari rebuffed, slapping her on the back. “I’m hungry and that’s
the first edible thing I’ve seen since this happened to us! I’m taking it!”
Kari broke out into a sprint toward the gigantic muffin, with Maria following
close behind, leading Becca, Veronica, and Anna to look at each other and join
in.
Sure, Becca thought, it may be a week old, but considering their situation they
had no real right to complain. Besides, at their size, would they even be able
to mind how “dirty” it may be?
Sure enough, reaching the base they found crumbs that had fallen off the muffin
that reached the size of their ankles, and even a chocolate chip that was the
size of them. Usually you’re told not to pick up food off the floor due to
whatever bugs might have touched it, but when *you’re* the bugs, it’s easier
not to worry about it.
Kari and Maria both were the firsts to pull apart a (tiny) chunk off the
muffin, with Maria falling on her ass as a result of the heavy force. The
muffin felt pretty rock hard, but again, it was hard for them to realize if
that was due to it being “stale”, or just how their size difference
re-contextualizes the muffin’s structure.
Taking a hard crunch out of it, Becca, Veronica, and Anna waited with baited
breath to hear their consensus.
“….It’s food!” Maria stated.
Satisfied enough, the three remaining girls let out a chuckle and followed suit
to dig in.
It was hard for them to describe the taste, with it mainly tasting like raw
textured dough, but they agreed it was definitely edible enough to satisfy
their hungers.
Veronica tried an experiment where she took her muffin chunks and rubbed it
against the chocolate chip, almost making it feel like a hard granola bar.
Either way, it was something that continued to fascinate and intrigue her.
Anna was sitting “properly” on a leaf nearby, munching away on her piece of
crumb that she had grabbed, not wanting to indulge herself as much as some of
the others were, though partially was not wanting to think about the muffin
being significantly bigger than she was.
Kari, meanwhile, had been having her own field day, using the chocolate chip as
a springboard to jump up and start to climb the muffin. Now it truly was just
like a mountain. Reaching nearly halfway through the top, she found a hole that
acted as an entrance directly into the muffin, that was just about her size,
and with no hesitation, slid in front first with a loud squee.
Becca began to think about just how amazing the thought of giant food really
was. With the rate they ate, the muffin could probably last them a month alone,
if not more. It also made her think about wanting to try this again, except
inside her house in a safe environment. Being able to eat anything at the size
of a bug became incredibly appealing to her now.
At the same time, Kari landed on a softer landing than she expected. She
realized that the soft part of the muffin still persisted even at their size,
allowing her to much easily take nibbles at bites with little effort. It all
became immensely satisfying. Then, she suddenly paused herself, lying down on
her back.
Free from the watchful eyes of her friends, Kari finally started to let out all
of her repressed emotions. She began to intensely tear up as the scene of
Chelsea’s demise began to replay in her head, and how insignificant her friend
was when she was devoured by the blue jay. She knows she and her friends are
just as vulnerable, and has no idea how they’ll be able to handle it.
“What if I get eaten next?...” she worryingly muses to herself.
Then, suddenly without warning, she starts to put her finger into her
underwear, rubbing herself down. She couldn’t explain it, but even while
tearing up, she began to pleasure herself harder in harder, almost to try and
relieve her pent up stress. Thoughts of her being eaten ballooned into thoughts
of her eating others, a different terrifying thought that gave her all the
power, which just further proved to push her masturbation even further, with
her screams getting louder and louder.
Meanwhile on the outside, the girls could only faintly hear the moans, unable
to figure out what she was saying or doing, just believing that she was really
excited at eating the muffin from the inside.
However that was quickly drowned out by another sound that caused the four
girls to stop in their tracks. A rustling of leaves coming from right behind
the muffin. And if that wasn’t bad enough, it was accompanied by a loud
clicking noise.
It wasn’t a bird, but instead the head of a different creature emerged itself
from the top of the muffin, causing the tiny girls to freeze in fear: a
squirrel.
The brown squirrel stood about twice the size of the muffin, gazing at it
longingly, and paying absolutely no attention to the “bugs” below its feet.
Becca shook her head to Anna right as she saw her about to go into a sprint
away. She had no idea if the squirrel would care about them, but for now their
priority is to make sure their presence remains invisible. However, that became
a problem as the squirrel moves itself closer towards the muffin and the girls
remember the other issue: Kari is still inside.
After several minutes, Kari had finally relieved herself and let most of her
anguishes out. She still had no idea where that all came from, maybe the sense
of ecstasy was due to the combination of being slightly hungover and shrunken.
Either way, she pulled her underwear back up, rubs her remaining fluids off on
the walls of the muffin and began to climb out the way she came.
Reaching the hole back to the outside, Kari decided she wanted to give the
girls a surprise, quickly popping her head out going “Hey girls how are y’all
enjoying this picnic!”
That’s when her face, and the faces of the girls below, grew pale.
Right in front of her was a monster of a squirrel, and it had its eyes squared
directly at the miniscule Kari, popping out of the muffin like a worm. Its nose
began to twitch, while its tail frivolously shakes back and forth.
Kari was in a state of complete devastation. She feared this is the moment
where, just like Chelsea, she would meet her end at the hand of this fluffy
kaiju.
Tears once again flew down her face as she mumbled “P-please don’t eat me.”
Then, the squirrel made its move. It suddenly pushed itself forward, causing
Kari to fall backward into the hole, as the squirrel used it claws to grab and
pull out the crumb of the muffin, which included Kari.
She was hysterically screaming, calling for help, and praying she won’t be eaten,
as the squirrel brought the crumb and the girl closer and closer to its face to
sniff and examine.
As this was happening, the rest of the girls each had their hands covering
their mouths, in their own desperate plea not to scream and cry or else to have
the squirrel target them next.
However, to all their shock, the squirrel simply chucked the crumb down onto
the dirt ground, causing Kari to be flung off, face first.
This was when the squirrel finally took notice of all the tiny bugs around
them. As it turns out, the squirrel was being very territorial in regards to
what it figured was IT’S food, and even insignificant creatures like these tiny
girls were too much for it.
With a loud screech, the girls ceased with their attempts to remain frozen and
broke out into a panic, dashing around haphazardly.
Anna ended up running directly into Veronica, causing the two of them to fall
backward onto a nearby blade of grass, while Becca and Maria ran over to help
the dazed and confused Kari.
Anna and Veronica were stuck tangled together, each yelling and trying to force
to other off, all the while the other three girls were faced against the terror
that was the gargantuan squirrel that was heading directly toward them.
They had no idea what to expect when the squirrel once again screeched loudly
at the girls, before swiftly shifting its entire body, whipping its tail
directly at the girls. The force of the wind was powerful enough to blast the
three girls, screaming and flailing themselves through the air, travelling
deeper into the backyard than anyone could notice.
By the time Anna had managed to push Veronica off, she had witnessed the
terrifying display, and began to rush toward the girls’ location, despite
Veronica’s pleas not to run off.
Thankfully, the squirrel had not noticed the other two, so instead went right
back on its own, chowing down on the muffin, but that didn’t stop its clawed
feet from being a problem of nearly stomping on the chasing Anna who got caught
in the middle.
She twisted and jumped and rolled herself away from the unaware beast, running
back into the grassy field, as the lone Veronica was left stumped and worried
about what to do next
“…well shit.”
After several minutes of trying to run after her three friends that had just
been blown away by the squirrel, Anna finds herself lost somewhere in the
yard. She mumbles to herself that she should’ve at least stayed close to
Veronica, but now she’s all on her own, stuck puny in this unknown world.
Unsure of what else to do, she anxiously siys down, holding her legs and
wiggling her bare feet, staring down at the dirt ground when she spots little
bits of movement. Giving it a closer look, she spots what appear very tiny
specks that she akins to be equivalent to dust mites.
Anna was surprised to happen across other bugs even more miniscule than she
was, but she was happy about it, because it finally gave her an outlet to
vent her frustrations. Using her toe, she hovered right above a group of
them, before stomping and grinding them into dust.
“Finally. This is more like it. Me as a true goddess.”
The stress of feeling so pathetic and insignificant led to her continued
assault, picking up the even tinier bugs between her fingers and crushing
them into nothing. She even started to fantasize about what if these were
actual people, and started to get incredibly turned on at the thoughts.
Anna was too distracted in her little fantasies that she didn’t notice the
rustling from the grass nearby that was getting closer and closer. By the time
she finally did and jumped back up into the air, it was too late.
Emerging was a long black ant. From Anna’s perspective, it was about half her
size while standing; somewhere in-between the size of a large dog and a
horse. Even still, the sight of the bug absolutely horrified her. She already
despised them when they were smaller than her fingernail, now they were large
enough to actually hurt her. Not to mention they looked disgusting.
She wanted to run away, but feared provoking the ant even more, so instead
chose to slowly back away, with each step resulting in the ant making one
more step toward her. At that point, she was so focused on the threat in
front of her that she didn’t notice that another ant suddenly began to appear
from her left side. And then another on her right. And they all began to
corner her.
Walking backwards faster and faster, she tripped on a large stone, back
hitting into a long grass stalk, as Anna realized that she was surrounded and
there was nothing left to do but pray they didn’t choose to just devour her
now.
Her worries soon rapidly grew as one of the ants grabbed onto her right arm
with its pincers, causing her to wail out in pain over the sudden grip,
followed by the other ant grabbing her left arm. Now she was truly pinned
down and completely at their mercy.
Now fully restrained, the centre ant shoved its face right up close and
personal with Anna, even despite her attempts to squirm with around, with her
feet held down by two of the front ant’s legs. Her face continued to distort
with sweat pouring down, unsure of what their goal was. The two antennae
began to twitch itself all across Anna’s face, rubbing between her long hair,
around her ear, getting into her mouth, causing her to spit at the awful
taste.
What are they doing? She thought to herself. Were they going to try to eat
her? Examine her taste? God it’s disgusting.
That thought seemed to help prove itself when suddenly the ant began to take
its mandibles and start to chew on parts of Anna’s dress swimsuit. She knew
there were obviously much greater issues to deal with, but the suit getting
ruined was especially dreadful for her, especially after going so far to
prevent it from getting dirty earlier.
The chomps resulted in various rips ranging from small to large, with the
nibbling reaching her stomach, causing her to shout in pain. They thankfully
didn’t completely pierce her body, but it was giving her little scrapes, and
she worried that one wrong move and it could completely impale her with
barely any effort.
“H-hey no, don’t poke there!” Anna was caught even more off guard when the
ant shifted over and started to focus its attention on another part of the
body.
The ant proceeded to stroke its antennae down into the opening beneath Anna’s
legs, under her swimsuit. It was like the ant was trying to get much more
intimate than the girl ever thought reasonably possible, and she couldn’t
stand it. She swung her now exposed legs all around, shaking and desperately
trying to break free, but her arms were so tightly locked in she was truly
stuck.
The movements of the antennae became even more ticklish as Anna’s eyes began
to water up, fearing if this is her fate, if not be eaten or killed, be
relegated to this ant’s plaything? She started imaging a scenario where the
ant dragged her back into its anthill, tied her up, and would stroke and
nibble at her whenever it felt like it.
No! This can’t be! She kept thinking to herself. I am a goddess and won’t be
subjected to this abuse of this shitty bug!
“Please! Somebody! Helppppppp!” she finally managed to scream out.
Just then, a lone sandal came flying out from above the grass, smacking right
into one of the ants, causing it to drop its grip of Anna and slowly start to
turn around.
Suddenly, Veronica comes swinging down from off a piece of a flower, breezing
past the ants and knocking Anna off her feet, as the two are flung a decently
far away from the ants, before Veronica quickly picks Anna back up, and the
two break into a sprint.
A couple minutes later, the two managed to reach what appeared to be a safe
zone, far from the ants or anymore bugs could get to them. Veronica was
panting, while standing with a triumphant look, while Anna was panting while
sitting, looking much more defeated by the experience, looking up a the
“normally smaller” Veronica.
“T-thanks.” Anna managed to squeak out. She was never one to be too
intimately friendly with Veronica normally, but here she felt she had to say
something for being saved.
When they were separated, Veronica had decided to take a risk and climb up
the side of a flower nearby, where she was able to get a better sense of
trajectory, of the yard, without exposing herself completely from above. She
was able to hear Anna’s screams nearby, allowing her to swoop in and rescue
her from the danger.
Even though they were now completely lost from their trajectory, with no way
of knowing where the other three girls were, they resolved the best they
could do was continue forward to the house and hope to meet up there.
“So.” Veronica proceeded to quip to Anna. “Did that experience make you
decide to rethink your feelings on those ‘pathetic bugs’?”
“No actually.” Anna responded with a disgust in her voice. “It just makes me
hate them even more.”
---
Elsewhere, Becca, Kari, and Maria were recovering from their “too close for
comfort” experience with the giant squirrel, finding themselves separated
from their other two friends, and due to being disorientated, were unsure of
what direction they needed to take in order to reach the house. Every
direction seemed to look the same, of the never-ending yards of grass.
They also had no idea how they’d be able to reunite with Veronica and Anna by
this point, so figured their only remaining option was to just continue
toward the house and hope they don’t run into any more trouble.
The three walked for another half an hour, still exhausted, and still with
seemingly no end to their trek in sight. They began to worry if this was
going to end on lasting until overnight. That was something they knew they
absolutely needed to avoid, unsure if they’d be able to survive outside for
that much longer.
They were soon surprised by a long, large column made of wood that stretched
upward and all the way downwards to the right of the yard. It caught their curiosity
enough that they decided to climb. Kari helps push Becca and Maria up onto an
indent on the side that was too high up to normally reach, as the two
proceeded to help pull her up, and continue their climb up.
Reaching the top, the three were surprised to be greeted to another extensive
patch of dirt, only rather than blades of grass, the stalks were much more
spread apart.
It took Becca a couple moments to realize exactly where there were, but
seeing what she recognized were an onslaught of weeds led her to remember:
they were in their mom’s garden that’s on the side of their backyard.
Right before she was able to explain this revelation to her friends, they
were all caught off guard by a sudden ginormous bare foot in a sandal that
stomped directly near the edge of the garden, causing the girls to be flung
onto their butts by the impact of the shockwave. Staring up in disbelief at
the titan above them, all Becca was able to do was get out a faint “M-mom!”
Shortly before this, Marcia had peered into their backyard to check up on the
girls, only to find them all missing, including all their towels and stuff
they had with them. She asked her husband if she saw them leave but he was
just as clueless. Assuming they all were finished with their sunbathing and
had decided to leave, Marcia was satisfied because it meant they had the
house all to her and Rick, so they could have some private fun.
But first, looking out at the backyard caused her to notice her garden, which
she remembered she hadn’t maintained in a while, so thought she should take
advantage of this and put some work into it right now before she relaxed
inside.
Dressed in a short sleeve shirt, short jeans, and flip flops, she went to
their shed to grab a toolbox with gloves and shovels, heading over to her
garden to finally pick some weeds that have started to greatly pile up.
“Alright! Let’s show these puny troublemakers who’s boss!” Marcia boomed
dramatically, at least that’s how the three miniscule girls interpreted it,
as they witnessed the mother branding the shovel in her hand, like a deadly
weapon, and realized she was coming directly for them, forcing them once
again into another sprint and panic for their lives.
The shovel came rushing into the garden, digging up a hole twice the size of
one created by a bulldozer, and completely decimating the nearby weed. Becca,
Maria, and Kari were panicking as dirt mounds the size of cars were raining
down from above, threatening to injure and crush everyone.
Marcia continued to nonchalantly dig and pull the weed, occasionally spotting
some tiny bugs amongst the flowers that she flicked away, unaware of the
danger she was inflicting on her daughter and her friends.
Becca was trying to outrun one of the shovels attacks, but was unable to make
it far enough, as the ground beneath her gave in as she was swallowed by an
unspeakably large mass of dirt.
She managed to grab onto the side of the chasm, which now stretched on
further downward into what looked like the depths of hell, with nothing but
pitch blackness. Becca was really panicking now. Her mom was just one casual
swiping of dirt away from condemning her own daughter to death, to be
consumed by the void.
Thankfully, Maria and Kari were there to take advantage of Marcia’s temporary
break, pulling her out of the pit, before once again breaking into a sprint.
“What the hell do we do? We’re as good as dead by your goddess mom!” Maria
yelled at Becca.
Becca looked around and saw a large red flower with sharp pincers sticking
out of its stalk.
“Let’s get up there! I know mom’s not going to touch that!” she stated.
Without hesitation, the three jumped up and began to climb the flower, using
the pincers as foot holds to pull themselves up. On occasion, they would turn
around and notice Marcia continuing her assault on the garden and the weeds,
including seeing her cover up the whole Becca nearly fell into, relieving at
having escaped that fate.
Reaching the top, the three hid safely under the pedals, safely observing the
monster Marcia as they waited for her to leave while planning their next
move.
It was here that Becca began to worry again. They were intending to make it
to her cause they assumed it was the safest place. But she was nearly just
killed by mom under her nose. So would that really work? Will they actually
be able to get their attention and be saved, or will they be doomed to be
either stuck at this size or killed.
Then, while she was deep in thought, everyone suddenly heard a loud *splash*.
Is she watering now? They wondered. But they didn’t see any watering cans
nearby.
“Aw crud, rain.” Marcia commented, sticking her hand out as several droplets
landed on her hand.
Almost on cue, the rain began to ramp up, causing her to get more and more
soaked. However, she wanted to at least grab all her weeds and plug up the
holes, so they didn’t mess with the structure of her garden, so resolved to
stay for a few moments before rushing back inside.
For the three girls however, this was just another nightmare scenario. Before
they could even prepare, one single hard droplet slammed straight into the
top of the flower, knocking Becca and Kari off, plummeting down to the
ground.
Maria, completely covered in pedals to protect herself, screamed Becca and
Kari’s names, as they landed not with a thud, but with a splash into a pool
of water that had been collected in one of Marcia’s holes.
Submerged underwater for a couple moments, Becca and Kari each reached the
surface for air, but struggled painfully as the hard mud all around them
dragged the, downwards, while the onslaught of rain drops greater than
themselves resulting in a wave of rapids that forced them into an endless
spree of disorientation.
Becca saw her mom’s finger breeze by her, seeing her make a path for the
stream they were in, sending them further down a pathway, directing most of
the water into another hole that Marcia intended to cover up once its
entered.
Choking on both water and mud, Becca and Kari truly thought this was the end
for them as the “whirlpool of death” came closer, with Marcia’s intimidating
face looking on, almost like she was laughing at seeing some “bugs” being
drifted away.
However, in a stroke of luck, Marcia had placed her right foot up onto the
column that divided the backyard from the garden, sending a shockwave that
flung a now completely mud-covered Becca and Kari into the air, directly for
her barefoot.
After landing and thinking they were safe, the slipperiness of the themselves
and the foot resulted in them sliding downward until stopping by being jammed
in between her front and second toes. Becca ended up falling face first, with
her feet sticking out, while Kari was feet first, both of them struggling to
free themselves, but with it being useless.
Unaware of the two “pieces of dirt” that got lodged in her feet, the drenched
Marcia stood up, satisfied with her work and began to head back to the house.
However, unbeknownst to her, another tiny had just screamed “No don’t leave
me here!”, taking a leap of faith directly toward where her two friends were
stuck, but only barely missing and landing on the edge of the flip flop,
which she held onto for dear life as the titaness figure began to move,
shaking herself off on the dry veranda, before going inside.
---
Meanwhile, shortly before it started to rain, Anna and Veronica had continued
their trek onward. They primarily spent the trip exchanging the odd quip in
order to ease their lonely, nervous tension, though thankfully were unable to
avoid any more dangerous encounters.
However, things took their turn for the worse when the rain caught up to
them. Just as was the case with the other three, they were completely caught
off guard by the gigantic water drops that suddenly began to surround and
envelop them. They tried to run but every moment just found themselves
knocked over by and falling into the freezing streams of water.
Eventually, they managed to reach a dry spot underneath a mushroom, allowing
them to hide from the rain safety. Despite this, the running river began to
increasingly surround them the more it continued to rain, trapping them on
their own personal island. No matter where they look, more devastation caused
by the “torrential” pouring made them feel hopeless at escaping.
Believing there was nothing left to lose, Veronica grabbed ahold of Anna’s
arm, causing her to shriek in surprise, and noticing a leaf floating along
the current, jumped toward it, landing with a near splash, before covering
themselves underneath one of the corners.
Now with their makeshift boat, and covered up by the leaf meaning they didn’t
have to worry about being consumed by the giant droplets, with the pain of
the splashes being their only issue, they allowed themselves to drift along
the backyard, making so much better pacing than they expected.
However, Anna lost her grip on her part of the leaf, causing Veronica to also
let go of hers trying to grab it, giving them enough time to be exposed, and
allowing for one hard rain drop to pound directly on top of them knocking the
two tiny girls unconscious.
Despite now the grievous danger they were in, they were thankfully still on
the floating leaf and every drop of water managed to avoid a big enough
splash to knock the two into the rapids where they would easily drown to
death.
Instead the leaf breezily floated on by until it stopped in a dry area,
getting caught in the middle of crack, stopping while the rest of the water
stream continued on further downwards.
After a couple minutes, Veronica and Anna finally regained consciousness,
lying on the leaf as they stared up at a giant wall that completely blocked
their vision. They didn’t realize right away, but soon would figure out that
they had reached the veranda, and were one step closer to reaching inside the
house.
